Be Steadfast

When you are in difficulties, when things are not going the way you want them to, when your existence and survival seems to be threatened, when hostile forces raise their hoods and start hissing, as a rationale being, your first reaction should be to think intelligently and bravely and deal with the situation by developing alternative action plans. You need plan A, a plan B and perhaps a plan C or D. You need to give a definite shape and time frame to each of these plans, add necessary details and put them into writing for easy and quick reference. Once you have them in place, you may take up your best plan and initiate action.

Action is the best antidote to fear and failure and to all that cause, within and without, that has landed you in the first place into this unfortunate situation. But unless you persevere, action by itself will not be sufficient. You need to be steadfast in your actions, doing what the best of your intelligence tells you to do and keep doing it till you accomplish your goals. Your mind is the secret source of combative power to the debilitating forces of nature that are always in conflict with our existence. Adversity is our harshest but best friend because in the end it improves us physically, mentally and spiritually and makes us stand against nature on our terms.
